Had a look round (in a Freelander so my range was limited) but didn''t see anything. It was reversed out of the road presumably not running as the battery was disconnected so it may have been picked up by a lowloader.

Police are searching local CCTV and ANPR at the moment but I would appreciate everyone keeping an eye out. Its horrid that this has happened to myself but equally that it may happen to others. Security is a problem on our vans at the best of times but when they steal them from outsude the house it brings it home.

I really hope you get it back, eyes pealed round the wilts area.

This is the one thing that worries me, so have just about everything on the Syncro to stop them.

That's sh!t.
Is it the orange one you were just posting about? Had you fitted those alloys? It might not have gone too far but if low-loaders were involved they sound abit more organised. :x

Makes you think, what tracker are we recommending?
